Plate It Up

Author: Edith Lovett

Planning Unit: Pulaski County CES

Major Program: Plate It Up! Kentucky Proud

Plan of Work: Plate It Up

Outcome: Initial Outcome

More than 200 people have sampled Plate In Up and Kentucky Proud Recipes in Pulaski County. All of the recipes served have received positive comments. Through using such a variety of recipes, and using foods available to them at the Farmers Market and local grocery stores,  clients have learned how to serve  greens, such as Brussel sprouts, chard, kale, Napa cabbage and other greens, in salads, soups, muffins, and other dishes, and not just as a  vegetable dish. The clients state they are more likely to buy products available at the market and grocery store after sampling the product, or finding a recipe card which tells them how to use the products being offered. The participants also indicate they are buying and serving more fresh vegetables instead of buying the products in a can.
